Running and Phone Calls and Endurance

hello there, this one is coming kinda late, i apologize.

I was wondering if i would get to work out any today since i had a meeting with the rest of my partners this morning at 6:30am (and only one was there by then). However, after work i did get to shot my bow 33 times, mostly at 60 yards and some at 40. after that i was able to get home in time to run for 50 minutes or roughly 5 miles (a little slow but that's not the point). so i actually ran more than i was supposed to according to my marathon schedule (that is one thing it says definitely not to do). so i have been working out a good bit this week but the weight just isn't coming off like it used to, i guess it is old age. i think i might have even gained a little weight this week.

anyway, on to deeper subjects. i have heard a song a couple of times recently with a line that says "we are all just a phone call away from our knees." the point is, we never know when things in life are going to happen or hit us, like deaths, deception by close friends, etc. The deeper point is that it doesn't really matter , God is with us, taking care of us ALL the time. The creator that created the entire universe cares for each of us enough to watch our own personal story unfold. and He loves us. If this God is really that mighty and loves us, how can anything hurt us? how can anything worry us? i know things get to us some times and things happen that we don't understand but, we have to have the faith that He is watching over us ALL the time, and if we can't believe that, we can't believe one word He says and might as well denounce Him as Creator and God.

So, just remember whatever trial you are in, no matter how hard it is( and you will go through many trial), God is preparing you for something bigger. It is sort of like my current training. i run and hurt, and ENDURE so that when what i am really preparing for comes, it is easy complete the task.
